Benin – Some parents in Benin have decried the rising spate of young men and women wearing tattoo on their body in the name of fashion.

Mrs Taiwo Egwakhide, a school teacher in Benin on Wednesday said that she disliked tattoos and would not allow her children to wear them no matter how beautiful.



Egwakhide said that tattoo was a Western habit, adding that Nigerians were in the habit of imitating the Western world in everything they did whether right or wrong.

“Anything the whiteman does, most Nigerians will begin to do, whether good or bad. How can somebody just sit down and you begin to draw tattoo on your body?

“It means that you do not like the way God created you and you want to add to it by designing tattoo on your body. I see it as an immoral act.
